Born on 8 September in Lalitpur, his full name is Manoj Kumar KC. 
Is fun loving and likes to think he has a great sense of humour. Impersonates Hari Bahadur very well. Is a happy-go-lucky person and enjoys experimenting with new things.
Once applied to medical school but never got in. Became a musician after trying his hands out at his dad's business, working as a teacher. He even starting his own business. "My life is full of twist and turns," he says.
Is never too serious, especially when it comes to himself, so has no embarrassing moments. The most stupid thing he has ever done is to pass off bungee jumping at the very last moment after getting all psyched up about it.
The weirdest thing that has ever happened to him is when a female fan took her shirt at a concert in Darjeeling. His cheeks too gets pulled a lot by his admirers of the opposite gender.
He loves watching movies especially in theatres and really wishes that there were movie theatres of good quality in the city. Apart from being involved with his band, has also produced numerous albums for many popular artists. Has created the background score for Sano Sansar.
In the next 10 years he sees himself as a more mature person but still involved in music. He is taking background scoring seriously and is going to Australia for further studies.
Values friends and makes an effort to spend time with them everyday. He is afraid of hurting people's feelings and can't stand the feeling of being cheated.
The most expensive thing he has ever bought is a Fender Strat guitar. He is passionate about gadgets and loves his MacBook Pro.
Seeing new talents performing in front of him for the first time was the high point of being the judge of Sprite Band Challenge.
The most unforgettable moment till now has been his last birthday as he got to celebrate it with someone really special. (He wouldn't tell us who!).
Sole inspiration is his uncle Uttab KC, a classical musician. After religiously listening to heavy metal for some years, he now listens to Funk, Jazz, Classical and Rock.
Dreams of opening his own record label some day and being really involved in the process of creating music.
Prefers to be dressed in torn jeans and tees, but also thinks he looks good in shirts and linen pants.

Very bad job with the format of the article. Unprofessional in its avoidance of the subject.
You have to see the actual magazine layout.Its actually quiet different and interesting. Had it been a paragraph based article the whole essence would've been lost.
My best band of all time in nepal . . . But it makes me go down, sometimes i hear about the band breaking up . I hope we can see all of the band member together. .
one of the most creative guitarist in nepal i 've seen. too bad firoz is not in the band hope to see him back
1974 ad is jus overrated, like trynna be all jazzy n stuffs when truth is they dunno nethin aba it
The band rocked the Nepalese Staying in Spore last month (25 Oct 08). However, with out Firoj I was completely Forlorn.
That guy is handsome but oversmart.
^^How come he is oversmart? Do you know him personally? Well all I can say is that Sabina is ugly and oversmart.It's my "opinion" afterall
I respect him as a guitarist and think he is very good..I want to know his guitar model..and why dont he try something between rock and metal..i would love to listen it..
